Email sent! I'll let you know! Is hair and make-up something I should make an appointment for now? I feel like there is all this stuff I should do but I'm not sure what or when!

definately book now!! i emailed the spa and let them know what services i needed and for how many people. they can only do a certain number of services at a time so we are starting at 11, the wedding is at 4 but the photog will be in the room at 3. here's the email. his name is adrian dong (spa coordinator)

This is a question about the $500 deposit put down to secure the wedding date. In the contract it says that the $500 can be applied to ceremony/reception upgrades. Does this mean decorations, cake etc....What are you guys upgrading using the deposit?? Will they let you apply it towards the sound system or something like that?

i dont think it matters what you apply it to bc you have $500 to use. for example the ultimate package is like $2700 and since you paid $500, then you owe $2200. if you used the $500 specifically for the sound system, then you would still owe $2700 for the package...does that make sense?

Thank you very much ladies for your help = )I will have to research on it more. Also, did you ladies set up your own decorations for the gazebo? Did they charge you extra?

to be honest, The Gazebo is really beautiful as is. The only thing I brought with me were Chair Sashes and the resort wrapped them around the chairs during the ceremony and then wrapped them around the chairs at the reception for me. I was up in the air regarding decorating the Gazebo, but after all is said & done, I am so glad that i didn't. It's just a really beautiful spot (I am sure it still is even with the new beach)

Yes you shuld def make your appointments now. If there is more than one wedding that day, you could get jipped out of an appointment. When I went, there were only 2 people doing hair, so I had me, My four Bridesmaids and 2 mothers that had to get done, so I started everyone at 11am and the last appointment was mine and that was at 2pm. I can;t imagine if there was another bride with bridesmaids that needed their har done that day. So make your appointments now & save all confirmation e-mails and take them with you

I got married June 24th of last year and although it was windy, it wasn't as windy as I have seen it for other brides, but it really is a hit or miss. It was really windy during our rehearsal which was the day before.

Exactly. They are basically saying, you still have to pay for extras and upgrades..LOL

For the brides that got the ultimate wedding package it includes the chair covers for the ceremony but do they include the chair covers for the reception as well for free? Thanks Philly Bride for your help = )

Ohhhh....understood Thanks!! I thought it was an extra 500 on top of the package price....

This is what I heard back from Cecilia about the size of the gazebo...I'm not sure if it's what you were looking for but I think it gives me an idea of what I need. "The Gazebo column is 2.5 mts each in the lowest side. When we have the white drapes we have the ones are 5 mts long and 1.2 mts wide, we double covered them."

Thanks for posting that, it was the first hair-down bride I had seen! I can count on one hand the times I've worn my hair up last year...it's so not me. This gives me hope too!

p.s. I think I almost had a seizure watching that video...what a beautiful couple and a gorgeous wedding day, but jeez...no videography skills whatsoever, especially the beginning...is this the resort videographer?

That isn't how your actual video is, it's just the highlight video (btw $300 if you want one).. it's kind of like a teaser. The actual video will flow nicer and not be so jumpy.
